• GA026-008 Graveyard
  Description

  At N end of Dooghta Valley, N of the Dooghta River. Indicated on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a small enclosed rectangular graveyard (c. 30m by c. 15m). The original enclosing element, a low earthen bank revetted by stone, survives only from SW to S: elsewhere it is now bounded by modern field walls. The graves are concentrated in S part of the interior where several hundred plain headstones are visible. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).

• GA026-009 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  On the roadside on N side of the Dooghta River valley. A pair of holy wells, fed from a small stream, which are dedicated to Muire (GA026-009----) and Fechín (GA026009001-). They are delimited by a rectangular drystone structure, E-shaped on plan (L 3.45m, Wth 2.9m, H 1.25m), the wells being located within its arms. A number of modern offerings are in evidence. According to local tradition, the wells originally contained a stone idol which had power over the weather; it was eventually smashed to pieces by St Fechín of Cong. The OS Letters recorded the existence of 'a flag stone called Leac Fechín [near St Fechín's Well; GA026-009002-] by which men were put to the ordeal!' (O'Flanagan 1927a, Vol. 3, 42), but no visible trace of it was found.
